CPR/Basic Life Support for Healthcare Professionals Level 2 (VTQ) Refresher

This CPR/Basic Life Support for Healthcare Professionals Level 2 (VTQ) Refresher course is designed for learners who have previously completed BLS training and need a focused skills refresh.

The course covers essential Basic Life Support (BLS) skills for adults, children and infants, including healthcare-specific variations for infant CPR. Topics include safety precautions, initial assessment, recovery position, CPR, compression-only CPR, CPR handover and choking management.

Training content aligns with the latest European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and UK Resuscitation Council guidance and is intended for healthcare professionals with a duty to respond.

This refresher is suitable for learners who require an update every six months. If the current certificate is nearing one-year expiry, this refresher is not suitable and the full BLS for healthcare professionals course should be completed instead.

Training content is aligned with the Skills for Health UK Core Skills Training Framework (UK-CSTF), covering Level 2 adult and paediatric patient care learning outcomes.

Keep CPR and Basic Life Support knowledge up to date for clinical and care environments, with a focused refresher for healthcare duties.

Most people take this refresher as part of ongoing competence requirements in healthcare and the care sector, helping maintain confidence in CPR, choking response and recovery positioning.

Whether it’s a professional requirement or personal qualification, this course allows you to train at your own pace, in your own time.

Some people that may benefit from this training include:

• Nurses
• Care workers
• Doctors
• Locums
• GPs
• EMTs
• Paramedics
• Medical professionals needing regular updates

How It Works:

1. We sell access keycodes to ProTrainings courses up to 25% below the RRP. Order the number of access keycodes you need for each course like any other product from First Aid 4 Less, checking out and completing your order as you normally would. You will need to order one keycode per course, per person. Keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
2. When you have completed your order, we will email you with:

• A link to the training portal
• Your keycode(s) for the courses ordered
• A PDF of what to do next

3. If necessary, you can then distribute keycode(s) to other learners as required, or use the keycode(s) yourself if the training is for you. Remember, keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
4. Learners can then sign up using the link to the training portal, www.protrainings.uk/signup/firstaid4less. Each learner needs their own personal account so certificates and training records are correct. Redeem keycodes by entering a keycode in the ‘Key or Referral Code’ box as part of the sign up form. This will then make the relevant course for that keycode appear on the training dashboard when first logging in.
5. If you already have a login or have multiple courses you wish to appear in your training dashboard, you can redeem more keycodes easily by clicking the ‘Redeem Keycode’ link when logged in. Adding a new keycode in here will then add the relevant course to your training dashboard.
6. Once you have signed up on the ProTrainings portal, all of the administration, including saving progress, training records, issuing certificates and access to the material, is stored within your training login. This is on the ProTrainings system and is separate to the FirstAid4Less website. The portal is simple and intuitive to use. Technical queries or questions regarding the training or content are handled by ProTrainings – call 01206 807587 or email support@protrainings.uk
7. All learners have ongoing access to training materials after completion of the course for several months, with the option of weekly training emails delivered straight to your inbox to keep your knowledge up to date and demonstrate ongoing learning.
